UFC 75 (FREE on Spike)

You guys had better tune in to SpikeTV tomorrow.. err.. today (Saturday, Sept. 8) because UFC 75 will be airing for free and will be featuring some flat out HUGE matchups that should not be missed by anyone.

Here are some of the matchups:
*WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT*
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson(27-6-0) VS Dan "Hollywood" Henderson(22-5-0)
(Rampage Jackson beat Chuck Liddell in his last fight, but Dan Henderson is extremely talented and well rounded and will be more than a match for Rampage. Anything can happen, and this is a must-see fight. That's all there is to say about that!)

*LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT*
Michael Bisping(14-0-0) VS Matt Hamill(5-0-0)
(Both fighters are now MMA stars from the "Ultimate Fighter" television series on SpikeTV)

*HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT*
Mirko Cro Cop(22-5-2) VS Cheick Kongo(20-3-1)
(Both of these fighters are tough and have strong records. This one is going to be an all out brawl. Will Cro Cop be able to rebound from his disappointing UFC debut in which he was knocked out cold in the first round by a kick from Gonzaga? Watch and find out! This is going to be one heck of a match.)


. . . AND MORE!


These match ups speak for themselves, and the fact that this is 100% free is just crazy. If you don't tune in to this, it's your own fault!

Rampage vs Henderson is the unification match. Bringing PRIDe and UFC together

Can't believe I forgot to mention anything about Pride in my post.. my bad!

Im most intersted in Bisbing. He is a very likeable guy.

The results are already up on Sherdog.com.

Anyone else think Hamill won the fight?

I will also add that Rampage's ground game was better than I anticipated.

Hamill got robbed. Never before have I been this infuriated over an MMA decision. That was just WRONG on every level. I still can't get over how badly he just got screwed over.

I guess because it's in London, we have to give the precious Brits what they want, right? Their "hometown" hero has to win a fight by robbing it from someone who beat him down in almost every round. Remember how many takedowns Hamill scored?

I'm out of words.. this is just nauseating.

Some home cookin with the judges.

The Jackson/Henderson fight was OK, but I had a hard time stomaching it after the Hamill/Bisping fight.

I'm not sure if you felt the same way, but after that fight I was honestly about to turn the television off and just say to hell with it all.

The card was a good one. The Rampage/Hendo fight was a good one. I was disappointed in Crocup.

Cro Cop just doesn't seem to have any desire to fight anymore.. I thought they were going to need a bed and a nightlight over in his corner there for a sec.

He has turned himself into an overrated fighter to the max.

I wouldnt say overrated. He was a beast in PRIDE. But I do agree that he didnt have the desire. I believe, after his contract is up with UFC, that he wont fight anymore.

By overrated I just mean that he's making himself seem to be by losing two times in a row as soon as he goes into the UFC.. I fear that this will tarnish his reputation and may persuade him to "hang 'em up" before long. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I see what you meant now. I guess you could say that. These last two losses from him are, probably, the first fights the American audience has seen of him.

I was a little irritated over the Hamill/Bisping dec. What made it worse was the way Bisping acted after the bout.

I loved Houston Alexander pounding Sakara. Great fight to start the show with.

Marcus Davis did an excellent job of recovering and having his bell rang by Taylor. He has improved his game by leaps and bounds on the ground.

Kongo did exactly like he should do against Cro Cop, "STALK THE MAN". Cro Cop has never fought good while going backwards. The kick to the head is always going to be there also.


The main event was better than I thought it would be. Never thought Hendo would come in 20 lb. heavier than usual. Rampage had a hard time connecting to Hendo's chin, gotta give the man points on that.

I agree with you on the way Bisping acted after the fight. Hamill was pure class though. I keep hearing Hendo is going to drop down a weight division. I would love to see him and Silva.

Houston Alexander is just a beast.. I wouldn't get in a ring with that guy for a million dollars! He absolutely pummeled Sakara, and made Keith Jardine look like a joke. If he can keep fighting like he has been, I see him being a serious threat before long.

How in the world does Jardine get a fight with Liddell for title consideration?

Same thing I'm wondering .. I have no clue. I have a feeling Jardine is going to get destroyed.

I found this picture on Alexander's fight finder page and thought it was hilarious .. the poor "Dean of Mean" had no idea what he was getting himself into:

Liddell should destroy him. Good to see Alexander doing good, not to mention he's 35.

Hamill, if my opinion, won the fight hands down.

I was very displeased with the Hamill/Bisping decision.


I hate to say it, but Jardine may end up surprising Chuck.

Now it's time to look forward to Silva/Franklin match up in Cincy next month!

If he does, the 'Iceman' will be shattered and can kiss his career goodbye! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img] I just don't see him letting that happen, though. If he does, he's in deep, deep trouble.

Id quit too if Jardine beat me.

I hope Liddal woops his ass, then takes the title back from Rampage Jackson...

How do you guys think Liddal would fair against guys like Shamrock and Gracie from back in the day.

Back in the day, I believe he could of beat Shamrock with ease. Now Gracie would be a different story.

Liddell and Jardine should be an entertaining fight. They both love to stand and bang. It will probably be decided on who gets caught first. IMO Chuck shuld come out on top. He is the better striker, but in a fight like this it may go to the one who avoids getting chin checked.

Chuck would of not had any major problem with Shamrock or Gracie back in the day. Gracie would have never been able to get Chuck to the ground, and would of been decapitated on the feet. Shamrock would of had a punchers chance, but after the first minute he would gas and take a beating. Think of how bad Tito beat him in the first fight, that may have been Shamrocks best fight in his career.

Totally agree. Royce may have been a pioneer of modern mma but by current standards his skill level is no better than a B fighter at best. Terrible takedowns, which could get him killed against someone like Chuck.

Gotch what was your take on the UFC the other night?

Also where did Hendo get all that weight?
